My boyfriend turned out to be someone who he was not and you all answered inapproriatly why?

I asked what to do. when i asked you all about my boyfriend of 5 months who turned out not to be a white british guy he was a black nigerian scamming women. Everyone got on the bandwagon. Some said if you got to know a black man you might find you had something in common. Don't any of you listen to the questions? some of you called me racist! I prefer white men. Is that wrong? NO it is not. But to tink you are feeling feelings for a white guy and it turns out he is nigerian and scamming you wanting you to cash checks for him in the us? that isn't racist dude. that is a crimiinal I don't care what color he is. So I say to all of you who answer questions. Pleas read all of the question and think about your answer. when someone asks in their heart we expect you to care not judge. remember that please. You could need some advice one day.

    well i answer questions very honestly , i am so straight forward that people dont like it and vote against me!

    just think how many times have you voted positively for a person who has advised you to dump your boyfriend if you are doubtful of his actions...

    i have seen people only like voting for the sugar coated honey stuff..... judge for yourself next time.

    sorry about your terrieble experience but more then listening to people on the internet i think you should go by your own judgement.... that is if you can trust your judgement.

    nobody is in your shoes and no one knows what is really happening in your life so how do u expect perfect strangers to give you a 'life making' answer to a 2 liner question!!

    I didn't respond to your original question but I think I would have been more upset by the scamming than by the color of the man's skin. However, you have made your preference for whites a central point in your question this time. I don't think people were wrong for urging you to try blacks rather than dismiss them as a group. I wouldn't go so far as to call you racist because I don't know for certain what is in your heart.

    Sorry, honey- didn't come across your question, which is too bad, because I hate those scammers, and how they hurt people like you.

    If nothing else, your faith in others has taken a hit, and now you don't trust yourself.

    Were you having an online "relationship"? If you were, you

    need to shut off your computer and go out into the real world.

    A computer can turn anyone into anything they want, and where does that leave trusting people such as yourself?

    Ever heard of a 'sitting duck'?

    Take care of yourself, sweetie, and no more computer kisses.

    There are a lot of scams going around. A scammer is scum, regardless of color. You don't associate with scum. It's really that simple.

    Don't worry about what ignorant PC liberals call you. They're long on name calling and very short on productivity. I'm sorry, but this is the world we live in.

    You do need to grow a thicker skin. Live and learn, yea?

    Good luck!

    WOW. Sorry you got scammed like that. As long as you aren't racist it should'nt matter what your preference in men is . I am Puerto Rican, Black, and Italian. But I prefer to date Black guys or mixed guys. Everyone has their own preference. You have to be more careful next time.

    Any man who puts on a charade to charm a woman deserves what he gets.

    You deserve to be with someone who really is what you love about them.

    Character is not linked to race. Ignorance knows no bounds.

    The Nigerian scam is not a new thing. There are tips on the FBI website.

    What's supposed to happen in the United States is that we judge people for their own character, not for their ancestry. I am truly sorry that you were bombastically assaulted, but I know that this forum is full of small-minded people with nothing better to do that bewail their state.

    Don't feel obligated to defend yourself against them. They are like yapping dogs who hope to accentuate the mote in your eye so as to distract you from the beam in their own. --me

    I hope you got at least one serious answer. perhaps you want to check out the seniors section when you want a real answer with no insults or malicious advice. Sorry sweetie. You aer right race doesn't make him a scammer a scammer of any race is disgusting and a liar of any race or religion is still a liar and not to be trusted. Glad you dumped the bum!

    You wouldn't have sounded like a racist if you didn't mention his color that way. would it matter if he was a white scam artist? Under the surface, mention of color seems to stand out the most.

  • 1 decade ago

    Wait I think I answered that one. And you went ahead and cashed the first check for him right? And then you were like did I do something bad? But if you didnt appreciate him scamming you you sure didnt act like it. Either that or this is going on a lot.
